A father in Arizona awoke in the middle of the night to hear his toddler crying, only to find the child already in the lap of someone he did not know.

The stranger, later identified by authorities as 34-year-old Oren Aharon Cohen, said “I’m your friend,” then tossed the child onto a nearby couch, reported The Washington Post.

Local police reports indicated that a struggle then began between the father and Cohen. The mother of the child called emergency services as the father attempted to subdue Cohen.

When Arizona officers arrived, they used a stun gun to capture Cohen after he reportedly refused commands, said The Post.

Cohen was arrested on complaint of second degree burglary, kidnapping and aggravated assault. Later court documents verified Cohen as an Israeli citizen who was in the United States legally with a passport.

Cohen’s passport was found in the child’s room, along with his coat.

Police said it appeared that Cohen used the bathroom in the apartment and drank juice from the refrigerator.

The child’s father told authorities that the baby was still in its pajamas and same diaper after the incident.

Cohen reportedly did not remember much from the incident, telling police that he was drinking with a friend who lived nearby and was extremely intoxicated.

“Oren advised with 100 percent certainty that he did not perform or engage in any sexual acts with the victim of this incident,” The Post reported that police documents read. “Once it was relayed to Oren that the victim in his incident was a 2-year-old female, he became very upset and broke down crying. Oren said he would never hurt a child and does not remember the details of this incident because he was ‘black out drunk.’”

Cohen allegedly told police he could only remember playing with a “midget,” whose description matched that of the 2-year-old.

He also reportedly told authorities he wished to return to Israel because of the incident.

The Washington Post reported that in recorded video of Cohen’s initial court appearance, he attempted to explain the situation saying “Yes, but I didn’t do anything so that’s why I want to say something. I went to visit a friend. Her name is Carolina. She lives in this complex. We were drinking a lot over there in her house. We went outside — I went outside [to] smoke a cigarette. I guess I got blacked out. I went to the wrong door and that’s why you guys charge me [with] burglary? For going to the wrong apartment.”

Cohen also insisted that he did not sexually harm the child saying “I would never do anything like that. My dad is a sex offender. I would never do anything even close to that.”

He is currently being held on $250,000 bond and is due in court on Thursday. The Washington Post reported that his preliminary hearing is scheduled for Dec. 27.
